> It’s remarkable that the Suns have yet to be impacted by the virus this season. And while it certainly seems as if their good practices are playing a part, they’re the first to admit that sheer luck is ruling the day too.
> Yet as Suns coach Monty Willilams detailed before the game, it certainly helps to have a veteran voice and former players’ union president like Paul on hand in troubling times like these.
> After a film session last week, Paul and Williams addressed the team to discuss the COVID concerns and all the measures they could take to ensure the best odds of keeping their team whole.
> “Let’s just do our part so that we can keep business moving in a good direction, to keep it going,” Williams said of the message. “(Paul’s portion) was a really short but profound talk that we needed to have. I shared an experience, a personal experience, that I’ve been through because of the situation, and then we just kind of left it at that. …We want to do what we can to keep the business going but also keep our families safe and do our part. It doesn’t seem like the virus is going anywhere, so we might as well do what we can to keep each other safe.”
> When I circled back with Williams after the game to learn more about the specifics of his message, he shared the fact that Suns players have been encouraged to have people in their circles tested as a way of adding another layer of protection.
> “I just told them (that) you’re gonna have family members coming back to town (during the holidays), so the safest thing to do is get them tested when they come into town,” he added. “Keep them safe and keep us safe. People are struggling, man, you know? The numbers are back up again. Folks are dying. Again. For us to complain about playing basketball or anything within what we do is just kind of silly, and we don’t want that to be our story. We want hooping and our culture to be our story.”
> As Ayton remembers it, Paul implored them all to remain focused on what they could control.
> “(He was) just mainly…preparing (them for) what the league’s got for us coming (regarding COVID),” Ayton said. “Whatever decision they make, don’t be blown away by it, you know? It’s a decision they have to make, and you know, just finish playing until they say stop basically. You know, ain’t nothing changing. We’re still coming in, working out, just not doing all the extra-curricular, you know, just going out and stuff like that, just staying in and just

I mean come on. He did Star Wars, Jaws, Jurassic Park, E.T, and Home Alone.
He made some of the most iconic scores in movie history.

edit 2: i fucking get it. this is a hot take. i. know.
>JaVale McGee on playing for Monty Williams: "The way Monty talks to me and instills confidence in me, I can't say nothing bad about Monty. I gotta run through a wall for him. You see, every time I go out there. I don't care what minutes he gives me ... I just try to go balls to the wall."
It would be a waste to throw William away. I know people think he overstayed his welcome but just put yourself in the shoes of a random person who thinks security breach looks interesting and plays every individual game in the franchise so far to catch up on the story. What to they learn? FNAF 1, assuming they find and notice every single Easter egg which is already unlikely for a player who’s not looking for it, shows there’s a murderer who killed 5 kids. And that’s it. Golden Freddy is rare so they might never see him either. FNAF 2 shows minigames and this mysterious purple guy and another set of dead children, so at this point already the player can figure out that the killer is shown as the purple guy. He doesn’t have a name so far. If the player pays attention to they figure out that the killer could’ve been a ‘previous employee’ as suggested by the phone calls. FNAF 3, oh look! The killer died in the suit I’ve been seeing in the game and is now back! That’s awesome. Fnaf 4, oh look this kid died! They would think it is the bite of 87 if they don’t come across or mind the fredbear and friends show on TV as a bite of 83 has never ever been mentioned in any way. FNAF world: just some spin off RPG, probably unimportant. Fnaf sister location, the fifth game in the franchise, shows us a ‘mr.Afton’ who apparently has his own company. As the game goes by you can piece together that mr. Afton is the killer and a son called Michael looking for his father as it shows springtrap, so you now know this character’s name: Michael Afton. And he’s never mentioned again. A normal player wouldn’t know for certain that Michael is a sort of protagonist in the franchise. That is the only time he is and will be mentioned in the games. So what do we know (and not even for certain but just heavily implied) about the killer? His name is ‘mr. Afton’ and he has a son called Michael.
Basically what I’m trying to say is that William, through the games alone, is basically nothing. We never even hear his first name. If you play the games alone he wouldn’t be known enough to be called a ‘main villain’ because he’s pretty much exclusive to 8-bit minigames, still images of a zombie animatronic and a few voice lines.
Security breach finally has the ability to make William an actual character and maybe they’ll make prequels to make past characters like Michael or Henry also actual characters.
Hoping to find an agent to help us with buying our first home in a few months. I had one contact me from a small local group of about 20 people. She was very friendly. But I'm wondering if there is any benefit of using her over someone with Keller Williams? Or Redfin? (She told me that with redfin agents you get tossed around and don't work with the same person from offer to closing so the redfin "rebate" isn't worth it) I found a Keller Williams agent that specializes in first time and out of state buyers, which we are both. Just wanted to get some insight on any pros and cons of either. Thanks for any advice!

“If you have bad video and good audio that’s ok. But if you have good video and bad audio that’s not ok.”
I have seen many people calling him an awful imperialist president who didn't care about the people of states like the Philippines (and it's partially true), but I believe that he is extremely underrated, on a personal, moral note. I have researched some things about him and I saw that he was a very religious man, just as religious as WJB, I might add. Also, when he was shot in 1901, his first words after being shot and seeing his personal guards start beating Leon Czolgosz were "Take it easy on him boys" or "Don't let them hurt him". Remember, this was after being shot, he probably knew he was going to die, but he knew morally, that the man who shot him shouldn't be lynched, he wanted his guards to less aggressive towards the man who shot and killed him. He didn't have anything to win, he just wanted justice to be served, without violence, as a last wish. I don't know, I may be wrong, but I feel a little bit sad when I learn more about McKinley's personal life and especially when his presidency is overshadowed by the presidency of TR and see many people say that his assassination was a good thing, I just feel that he, indeed, was a good man, even though some of his actions like the Spanish - American and Philippine - American war had devastating effects on the natives of these areas.
